We ran out of dog treats once and a customer said that if his dogs don&#39;t get treats in the drive-thru they get &quot;mad&quot;. So he actually came inside, bought dog treats, handed us two treats, then went and pulled back through the drive-thru so his dogs could get the dog treats they &quot;expected&quot;.PharmD09noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-47373851558050148402009-09-01T22:55:28.704-04:002009-09-01T22:55:28.704-04:00be careful with those &quot;notes&quot;. one time ...be careful with those &quot;notes&quot;. one time we put a note on a customer&#39;s profile that she is a &quot;b*tch&quot; and she saw the label. boy, was that a fun day.rxgirlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-9152951886806759602009-08-26T23:38:32.719-04:002009-08-26T23:38:32.719-04:00I&#39;m a CPhT with Walgreens.

There is a way to put comments on patients the &quot;right&quot; way, but these can only be edited by the pharmacists, and they only show up in the computers, not on the labels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-50676949638456243992009-05-20T21:29:32.222-04:002009-05-20T21:29:32.222-04:00Stupid dog treats!!!

When people specifically ask, I tell them that we are out. It's like really, do you want good service with your prescription needs, or feed your dog, because you are too lazy too. We have some customers with crazy things in their address lines too. Sorry, apparently I work at WAG too. I can only imagine what you (the MD) have to deal with as well. I usually only have to deal with them for a few minutes.Jessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-76002545055415877272009-05-18T08:31:00.000-04:002009-05-18T08:31:00.000-04:00Thank you Ann.

Oh, goodness. The only patient I ever fired was a Fiorinal addict. Poor thing. <br /><br />Perhaps the only thing worse is opiates for "migraines". <br /><br />No? <br /><br />Just--just be careful with that stuff. It's always middle-aged women, too, and they will make you miserable with the constant e-mails and phone calls and begging.<br /><br />I warned you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-20122209427285284392009-05-15T10:52:00.000-04:002009-05-15T10:52:00.000-04:00Wouldn't surprise me if we did.

Our system, because patients can log in to get refills, etc. has been modified in the last year or so. We no longer have a "Notes" section we can use to put stuff like this in. I'm guessing someone put something rather impolite there and got busted by a patient. <br /><br />So anything like that or say " Double-count" "Brand names only" etc. has to be placed on the profile as this note was.

Obviously someone dropped the ball one time and got chewed out.<br /> <br />We have a customer like that as well. I had to go out on the floor one day and grab a box of Milk-Bones off the shelf- or face the wrath of both our customer and his slobbering pooch. ;-)KC in Flahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11018121716361407623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-37259726296447383922009-05-14T01:31:00.000-04:002009-05-14T01:31:00.000-04:00That's slightly awesome, but slightly wrong at the...That's slightly awesome, but slightly wrong at the same time.
